Server for pre-AIX 4.x IBM RISC System/6000</A></H2>

<TABLE BORDER WIDTH="100%"><TR><TH ALIGN="LEFT">Important</TH><TR><TD>
This section is only applicable if you are running AIX 3.2.5. For AIX
4.x, NetLS and NCS are provided as part of the operating system
distribution.  Users should insure that both the NCS and NetLS
components of their operating system have been installed. If not they
should be installed and started from your O/S vendor's distribution
media.

<H3><A NAME="HDRIBMLITP" HREF="insgu032.htm#PToC_60">Installing a License Server
for IBM RISC System/6000 from Tape</A></H3>
<P>
<P><B>Note: </B>On AIX systems, the block size of the tape device must be set to
512 bytes. Use <TT>smit</TT> to determine and change the device block
size if necessary.
<P>
Tape distributions of Data Explorer contain three tar format files. The first
contains two install scripts (<TT>installdx</TT>,
<TT>install_lsk</TT>) and a PostScript file documenting the Network
Computing System (<TT>ncs_ps.Z</TT>). The second contains the Data Explorer
installation tree which contains Data Explorer for all supported architectures.
The third file contains NetLS license server installation kits for each
supported architecture.
<P>
To install the license server, log in as root, insert the tape in the
drive, and type:
<PRE>
cd /tmp
tar xvf &lt;device&gt; install_lsk
&#46;/install_lsk
</PRE>
<P>
&lt;device&gt; is the appropriate tape device for the operating system
from which you run <TT>install_lsk</TT>. Example AIX tape devices are:
<PRE>
/dev/rmt0, /dev/rmt1, ...
</PRE>
<P>
Please follow the instructions presented by <TT>install_lsk</TT>
carefully. In
particular, when asked to give the name of the tape device, be sure to
give the name of the non-autorewinding tape drive, examples of which are
provided by the script. Also, if at anytime during the tape installation
you are asked to mount the next tape, just press the &lt;ENTER&gt; key
to have the installation continue normally.
<P>
<H3><A NAME="HDRIBMLICD" HREF="insgu032.htm#PToC_61">Installing a License Server
for IBM RISC System/6000 from CD-ROM</A></H3>
<P>
CD-ROM distributions of Data Explorer contain a mountable file system that
includes the installation scripts (installdx.sh for Data Explorer and
install_lsk.sh for the NetLS license server software), the software
itself (in tar format) and documentation.
<P>
To install the license server, log in as root, insert the distribution
media in the drive, and type:
<PRE>
mkdir /cdrom
</PRE>
<P>
Mount the CD on /cdrom. Mount the disk by entering the following
command:
<PRE>
mount -r -v cdrfs &lt;CD-ROM-Device&gt; /cdrom
</PRE>
where &lt;CD-ROM-device&gt; is the actual name of the CD-ROM drive on
your system. A typical name is <TT>/dev/cd0</TT>.
<P>
Type:
<PRE>
cd /cdrom
&#46;/install_lsk.sh
</PRE>
